Me. It's what's for dinner.

Menu from a local Vietnamese takeout.  Dieupentale.  Note that I am on it.

So, it's no slur.  They actually do eat dog in Vietnam:

The Associated Press reported in October 2009 that a soaring economy has led to the booming of dog restaurants in Hanoi, and that this has led to a proliferation of dognappers.

I certainly didn't know they'd be coming after me, Daurade, next!  First they came for the dogs, but I didn't speak out because I wasn't a dog.... 

Bon appetit!

Meat Island

In meat-and-island-related news this week:

* CNN fell for a fake story about a 140-year old hotdog found on Coney Island frozen in a block of ice with a receipt.

* A man watching Shutter Island was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer in retaliation for shushing a fellow movie-goer for talking on a cellphone.
